Brady Mattsson

Brady Mattsson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Wildlife Biology and Game Management at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His research focuses on wildlife ecology, conservation biology, and the application of spatial modeling to address challenges in managing migratory species, ecosystem services, and transboundary conservation issues. He leads efforts to develop decision-support tools for sustainable resource management and has contributed to frameworks addressing habitat connectivity, climate change impacts, and socio-economic trade-offs in conservation strategies.

His academic background includes expertise in population dynamics, spatial subsidies, and the integration of ecological and economic analyses. He collaborates internationally on projects involving migratory birds, waterfowl, and large herbivores, emphasizing cross-border collaboration and policy-relevant research. Mattsson’s work frequently intersects with policy development, ensuring practical applications of scientific findings to real-world conservation challenges.

Key research themes include quantifying ecosystem services derived from migratory species, mitigating habitat fragmentation effects, and optimizing conservation investments. He is affiliated with the iWILD institute and actively engages in public outreach through platforms like ResearchGate and Google Scholar, where his publications detail innovative methodologies for biodiversity preservation under global change scenarios.
